Exploring Adoptive Motherhood
Predictors of ever having sought adoption are evaluated for Hispanic and non-Hispanic White women. Analysis of the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth, a nationally representative study of reproductive health of 7,643 women aged 15 to 44 years, is employed. These include Hispanic and non-Hispanic White women aged 18 to 44 who are currently married and cohabiting (n = 3,118) and Hispanic and non-Hispanic White women aged 18 to 44 of all marital …
I Want to Be Just Like Their Real Dad
Adoption has been the purview of the social work field but has received little empirical evaluation by other family scholars. Using the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth, 378 men currently cohabiting with or married to a woman with her own children are evaluated to determine whether the respondent's biological children affect the odds of adoption of his wife's or cohabiting partner's children. Logistic regression results support the social ro…
Union Formation and Depression
Many studies have established that married people fare better than their never-married counterparts in terms of psychological well-being.

This study employs data on young adults from both waves of the National Survey of Families and Households to test hypotheses based o…
Adolescent Well-Being in Cohabiting, Married, and Single-Parent Families
Cohabitation is a family form that increasingly includes children.

Teens living with cohabiting stepparents often fare worse than teens living with two biological married parents. Adolescents living in cohabiting stepfamilies experience greater disadvantage than teens living in married stepfamilies. Mo…
